Could Missing The Pill Followed By Intake Of Two Pills Protect Against Pregnancy?
hi i missed the first pill (microgynon) after my 7 day break. I was supossed to take it sat, but i took it sunday morning with my sunday pill. So I took two pills together. Also I had unprotected sex with my husband the sat night - am I protected against pregnancy or do i need to get the morning after pill ?

Hi,
You have done the right thing by taking two pills on Sunday. But Since you have missed the first tablet of the pack you are not protected for the first seven days. You need to use additional method of contraception like condom for these seven days.
As you had unprotected sex with your husband there is a possibility of pregnancy. Please use the morning after pill at the earliest.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
